A particularly jazzy tune was playing on the radio. It was Celestina Warbeck's "A Pot of Hot Love" that Mrs. MacDoug loved to listen to most during her breaks.
The pots and dishes in the kitchen were cleaned by themselves in the sink, and they returned to the cupboard with the jingling music. A pair of white palms were placed on the radio, and the music that was being played was stopped.
Mrs. McDougal put down Witch Weekly, raised her head and looked at her daughter, and asked doubtfully: "Is something wrong?"
"Well...Albert invited me to France."
"Are you planning to go on vacation to France?"
Mrs. McDougal nodded understandingly, but was still a little surprised at the progress of her daughter and her boyfriend. It seemed... a bit fast!
Isobel hesitated and said, "Okay, Albert wants to take me to see his teacher."
"His teacher?" Mrs. McDougal became interested and asked, "Who is his teacher?"
"It seems to be Mr. Nico Flamel."
"who?"
Mrs. McDougal suspected that she had just heard wrongly.
"Nicholas Flamel." Isobel repeated softly with the corners of her mouth raised slightly.
"His teacher was Nicolés Flamel?" Mrs. McDougal found it incredible. She naturally knew who Nicolés Flamel was.
"Yes." Isobel pulled up the chair and sat next to Mrs. McDougal. "They are on very similar paths. Mr. Flamel is suitable to be Albert's teacher."
"It's really surprising. I didn't expect that he even knew a wizard like Nico Flamel." Mrs. McDougal was silent for a moment and then asked, "How long do you plan to stay in France."
"He should be back before school starts." Isobel thought for a moment and said, "He went there to learn something from that person."
"Okay, I still have to ask one thing, how far has your relationship reached?" Mrs. McDougal sighed silently in her heart and asked tentatively: "Did he propose to you?"
"Well, he did say this."
Isobel lowered her gaze and nodded unnaturally.
"Is it too early? I'm a little worried that you are not ready yet. Do you know what I mean? I'm not against it, but you are all too young." Mrs. McDougal reminded, "He just started school this year.
I'm in fifth grade, it will take several years to graduate from school."
"I know, but it doesn't matter."
Mrs. McDougal sighed and asked, "His parents also agreed?"
"Agreed." Isobel nodded lightly.
"Are you really ready?" Mrs. McDougal was silent for a long time. "I mean, have you really thought about it carefully? Do you really want to live like that so early? You should know what I am referring to.
, moving in and building a family too early may be a kind of torture for you. When you actually live together, you will find that the love you once had will gradually disappear, and only family affection and responsibility will maintain your relationship."
"I don't know." Isobel was in a daze.
To be honest, the girl doesn't know what kind of life she wants. Maybe that kind of life is not as beautiful as she imagined, but a life without worries and no need to rush for work, at least it won't be too bad.
.
Albert is not short of money and does not have to worry about life. The two of them have enough time to do what they want to do together.
"He already has a plan for the future. I think the situation is not that bad. There are house elves at home to help take care of him, so I don't need to worry about it. As for work, I don't need to worry about work problems. I can continue to do what I want to do.
things."
"House elf?" Mrs. McDougal opened her mouth, somewhat unable to understand, but Isobel obviously would not lie to herself.
Did Albert really come from a Muggle family?
In the magical world, only ancient wizarding families have house elves serving them.
Moreover, from what I just said, they have even prepared a house for their wedding?
"He is more powerful than you think." Isobel proudly praised her boyfriend.
"No, he is very powerful. He can surpass your father by a few miles. If it is as you say, I don't think there will be many people in the entire magic world who can compare with him." Mrs. McDougal looked on.
He said complicatedly, "I know you all have your own opinions. Even if you talk too much, I probably won't be able to change your minds. Please invite him to our home more often when you have time."
"I will."
Isobel nodded, knowing that she agreed, with a slight smile on her face.
"Falling in love can really make people go to their heads."
"I know what I am doing, and I don't think it is too early. I will graduate two years earlier than him."
Mrs. McDougal did not bother to argue with her daughter.
"By the way, there is one more thing." Isobel suddenly stopped and said before going upstairs.
"What's up?"
"He said that in two or three years, the British wizarding world might not be safe." Isobel was thinking about how to tell his family about this.
"Not safe?" Mrs. McDougal asked inexplicably.
"It seems that a wizarding war will break out," Isobel said after a long hesitation.
"Wizard War, are you sure?" Mrs. MacDougal asked in disbelief.
"I also hope it is false. Albert is very good at predictions, and his predictions have not been wrong so far." Isobel looked at her mother and said: "He plans to send his family abroad in two years."
"He asked you to persuade me to go together?"
"Well, he wants our family to go out and avoid the limelight."
"Let's talk about it then!"
Mrs. McDougal frowned and reserved her opinion on this matter. Prophecy is such a mysterious thing. How many people can explain it clearly?
After Isobel went upstairs, Katrina quietly appeared out of nowhere.
"Isobel just wants to get married so much. You should see if she is under someone's enchantment spell." Katrina had been eavesdropping on the conversation between the two of them just now.
"I heard it all."
"Yeah." The girl curled her lips and said: "They are still in school now, they are just children. Albert is not even an adult yet. It is too early to say this now. Even if you get married, it will be from school.
It’s all about after graduation.”
To be honest, Katrina was shocked and dumbfounded by Isobel's boldness, and she didn't expect that the relationship between the two had reached this point.
If she hadn't overheard today, she would still have been kept in the dark. It would be really annoying. Wouldn't she still be considered a sister?
"About 20 years old, your father and I probably got married at that time. I was just a little worried about whether Albert would be ready at that time. You know, he had just graduated from school at that time." Mrs. McDougal
The worries are not unreasonable. Most people have not yet completed the change in mentality.
"If they are not stable enough, they will be in trouble together in the future. I doubt whether they can take care of their children and bear the pressure of starting a family. If they work for a year or two and their mentality changes, the situation will be much better," said Mike.
Mrs. Ge's worries are not unreasonable, because this situation is too common.
Moreover, there was one thing that Mrs. McDougal did not say.
She felt that the two of them were wasting their talents by getting married too early. They should not devote their energy to the family too early, and Isobel should not focus on becoming a housewife, which would not be conducive to their future achievements.
